Cold Forming Orders and Custom Processing at Taiga | Precision Spring Manufacturing Available

Cold forming is a high-precision technique that can accommodate complex shapes and small production runs. Taiga provides fast turnaround times and high-quality processing to meet a wide range of customer needs.

What is Cold Forming?

Cold forming is a processing method where metal is shaped at room or low temperatures, without the need for heating it to high temperatures. It is widely used in the manufacturing of springs, as it maximizes the material properties of the metal and allows for the creation of precise shapes and dimensions.

In cold forming, metal wires or sheets are subjected to processes such as pressing, extrusion, and bending to achieve the desired shape. This technique enhances the strength of the parts and improves dimensional accuracy, making it ideal for components like springs, which require both durability and precision.

Advantages of Cold Forming Process

Achieving High Dimensional Accuracy

Cold forming minimizes metal distortion while ensuring exceptionally high dimensional accuracy. It is especially suitable for the manufacturing of springs that require precision at the micron level.

Capable of Processing Complex Shapes

By utilizing cold forming, we can manufacture springs with complex shapes that would be difficult to produce using traditional methods. It enables high-precision bending and cutting, making it adaptable to a wide range of shapes.

Fast Turnaround for Small Batches

Cold forming is particularly well-suited for small-lot production and prototypes. We offer flexible solutions to meet your required delivery timelines and can quickly accommodate design changes.

Cost Reduction and Improved Efficiency

Thanks to its high processing precision, cold forming reduces the need for additional finishing and post-processing, leading to cost savings. It is also suitable for mass production, offering excellent cost efficiency.

Cold Forming Process

  1. 1

    Design and Drawing Editing

    Decide on the shape and specifications of the parts to be processed using cold forming, and create design drawings. With Taiga, you can create and modify design drawings in real-time, allowing for an efficient workflow.

  2. 2

    Material Preparation

    Select the appropriate metal (such as steel or aluminum) for cold forming and verify the required dimensions and properties. Proper material selection directly impacts the final product's quality.

  3. 3

    Preparation of Cold Forming Machines

    Select the suitable cold forming machine (such as a press or drawing machine) based on the part to be processed, and set up the processing program. Cold forming requires precise machine setup and operation.

  4. 4

    Cold Forming Process

    Perform processes such as compression, drawing, and bending to form the metal material in a cold state. The goal is to shape the material precisely while ensuring the required product strength and quality.

  5. 5

    Finishing

    After forming, perform finishing processes like deburring and surface treatment to ensure the final quality of the part. Surface treatments to improve corrosion resistance and durability are important in this step.

  6. 6

    Inspection and Completion

    Inspect the finished parts for dimensions, shape, strength, and other specifications to ensure they meet the required standards. Once verified, the parts are delivered to the customer with guaranteed quality.

  7. 7

    One-Click Reprocessing (Re-purchase)

    Developed parts and products are stored on Taiga, making it easy to reprocess (or re-purchase) the same items when needed.

Types of cold forming available on the Taiga

Spring Bending Process

When forming springs through cold working, the bending process is a crucial step. By bending the metal at room temperature, we can precisely shape the ends of the spring or complex forms. Bending is particularly important in spring manufacturing, allowing for fine adjustments to match the required size and shape.

Drawing Process

In cold drawing, metal wire is stretched to achieve the desired thickness. By drawing spring steel to the required size and shape, we prepare the basic material for cold working. This step optimizes the spring material and plays a vital role in enhancing strength and elasticity after cold processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What are the advantages of cold working? +
Cold working does not use heat during processing because the metal is processed at room temperature. Therefore, errors and deformation due to thermal expansion are minimized, and precision parts can be manufactured with high accuracy. In addition, since heat treatment is not required, manufacturing costs can be kept down and production can be done in a short period of time. Cold working is particularly effective for parts with high durability and parts requiring complex shapes.
2 What is the strength of parts manufactured by cold working? +
Components produced by cold working are highly resistant to pressure and tensile forces. Strength is generally enhanced by plastic deformation that occurs inside the metal during processing. This process is particularly suited for parts that require strength and durability (springs, gears, etc.), and high strength may be achieved without additional heat treatment after machining.
3 What is the delivery time? +
Delivery time depends on the processing contents, quantity, and materials used. Please contact us first so that we can provide you with a specific delivery date based on the data you provide.
4 What is the accuracy of cold working? +
Cold working can produce parts with very high dimensional and form accuracy. The plastic deformation of the metal is precisely controlled, allowing for minute shapes and complex designs. Accuracy depends on the type of molding machine and setting conditions, but even parts that require micron-level accuracy can be produced. In particular, excellent results can be obtained in the production of precision machine parts and high-precision molds.
